    Your mistake was to assume a minicab driver is a professional anything!
    It's usually far from it, they are the absolute pits around here and I suspect many of them that share the same vehicle 24*7 don't even have a valid UK licence.

    If you make someone slow down when you pull out it's a major on a driving test and you fail. The reason why? If your manoeuvre is only safe because other people have made it safe by correcting their driving (positioning or speed) it was not safe and it demonstrates you have poor decision making/lack awareness of others speed and position. Congratulations you took a major risk for literally nothing enjoy the 2 seconds you saved sitting at the next set of traffic lights.

    I suspect most of us have been stuck in traffic behind an accident or something like that - even without a sat-nav to tell us, I would still NEVER go up a slip-road ON to the motorway unless directed by Police. That's absolute insanity no matter how you look at it. Frankly, I'm surprised the Traffice Police hadn't been in attendance much earlier, unless they are/were dealing with the accident a bit further down the road.

      A couple of months ago I was on my way to Birmingham, and the exit slip was at a standstill. A people carrier in front of me started reversing, expecting me to reverse, so it could cut across the chevrons and rejoin the motorway. People are very happy to do stupid things it seems.

    I totally agree that people should not emerge in a way that causes anyone else to slow or otherwise take evasive action. However, I also think - at 0:38 - when you saw that car emerge, you shouldn't have continued up to it at pace and used your horn to admonish the driver. Sometimes you have have to take a deep breath and accept you've been inconvenienced.

    In my town the streets around two schools have been altered in the last couple of months to make them one way, with traffic lights added to enable better exit onto the main road for those leaving the school. Yesterday afternoon I encountered a 7 tonne tipper truck coming the wrong way up the road. I stopped to have a word with the driver and his attitude was your not the police so what does it matter to you.

      That little swerve as he decided to continue overtaking, with roads that wet, could've easily led to him spinning out or aquaplaning, leading to a serious accident, possibly even killing someone. There's just no need to drive like that. Maybe there's chemicals in the upholstery that makes Audi drivers lose their minds? Always an Audi!

    I am English, learnt to drive (properly) in Germany, and live in the EU. I am appauled at the (lack of) driving skills used by a significant number of UK drivers. There is no patience, defensive driving, road trafficflow awareness, too many drivers relying of Daytimerunninglamps in foul weather, (i.e. no rear lights at all) and use of Automatic headlights, which don't work in daylime misty, or rainy conditions (i.e. the road is full of spray so you can not see the AUDI/BMW comming at 80mph in the (clear) rear view mirrors/cameras).[rant over]

I don't use my phone for anything requiring internet - bloody screen is too small!! I've been lucky that people have taken pity on an out-of-state (USA) driver and given me the room I needed to get into the correct lane, but if I was forced to go around a few blocks to get straightened out, I do it.

    02:03 I will give you another for "an Audi". Only has the park lights on !!
    Be seen folks , doesn't cost anything . ''Turn the heads on early with two (2) clicks'' or turn the head light on whenever driving a vehicle
    One of my pet driver hates is drivers with only the park lights on . What is the psychology of "oh it's a little dark --- maybe I should turn my lights on --- where's the light switch --- one click should do ....................... " Later when it's dark they are still driving with the only the parks on. 😠 😡 🤬
    Why the duckin' sake not go two clicks to turn bloody head lights on (sort of set and forget) so others can see them when doing something stupid like the clip shows .
    Head lights are for "TO BE SEEN" --- you don't really need head lights to drive at night ; especially in built up areas .
    Please, learn and practice the ''TWO (2) CLICKS'' rule folks :)

      @@thelondondashcam Of course. It is drivers who need to be taught to avoid pedestrians.
      I would remind you of the case of Jackson v Murray where a pedestrian steps out from behind a bus directly into the path of a car being driven within the speed limit giving the driver no time to react. It went all the way to the Supreme Court which ruled that the driver was a fault, because if you see a bus then you have to expect pedestrians to emerge suddenly from behind it. Similarly if you pass a school at pick up or drop off time then you have to expect pedestrians to be on the road. It is the duty of drivers not to hit pedestrians and as Rule H2 of the Highway code says "Pedestrians may use any part of the road".
